Greg on Nostr: One pattern I find in my #rust code, or at least a subconscious behavior I have, is ...
One pattern I find in my #rust code, or at least a subconscious behavior I have, is not using lifetime annotations much. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I have written lots of C and C++, so maybe I have a habit of moving/borrowing memory, and keeping a mental model of a lifetime already, without annotations. I wonder if my code could be better, though, if I leaned more on explicit lifetimes, and if better means any of "more efficient" or "more readable." #softwaredevelopment
